Fading light dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky,
Gleaming bright.
From afar drawing nigh,
Falls the night.

Day is done, gone the sun,
From the lake, From the hills,
From the sky.
All is well, safely rest,
God is nigh.

Then good night, Peaceful night,
Till the light of the dawn
Shineth bright,
God is near, do not fear,
Friend, good night.

Born:October 06, 1878 at South Boston, MA

Entered
Service in the US Army from Burlington, MA

Earned The Medal of Honor During the Philippine Insurrection
For heroism January 18, 1900 at Taal, Luzon,
Philippine Islands

Died:October
29, 1904 at the age of 26

From the
spring of 1898 until early the following year, most battles in
the Philippine Islands were sporadic ambushes of small American
patrols in the jungles, as the U.S. Army sought to root out the
rebel forces of Emilio Aguinaldo. On January 18, 1900, Private
Frank Walker became the first man of the new century to earn the
Medal of Honor when engaged with enemy insurgent forces at Taal,
Luzon, Philippine Islands. One of Private Walker's dying
comrades was sinking beneath the waters of the river when,
despite a heavy enemy fire, Private Walker rushed to his aid to
pull him to shore.
